Cortney Hunt

Intelligrated, Trew and Transnorm - United States

Cortney Hunt has been appointed chief operating officer (COO) of Intelligrated, Trew and Transnorm, a new organisation that brings together the expertise and capabilities of the three companies.

Having joined Trew as COO in 2025, Hunt's career spans more than 30 years within supply chain operations and engineering roles. This includes 25 years at McLane Company Inc., where he was responsible for strategically implementing automation technologies and building high-performing teams to support complex distribution centre operations.

In his new role, he will lead solutions development, engineering, manufacturing, and project delivery; and also serve as a key leader in the transition planning and integration of the combined organisation.

“Cortney brings a unique perspective to our organisation, having spent decades on the customer side responsible for buying automation, approving capital projects, opening distribution centres and holding suppliers accountable,” says Al Rebello, CEO of the combined Intelligrated, Trew and Transnorm organisation.

“That firsthand experience will reinforce a customer-first culture across our organisation, one that listens, understands what matters and stays focused on delivering it.”
